yesterday around 3p.m. i got some gas at the shell station before i went to work. car ran fine on the way to work. i noticed though that after work it took maybe 3secs longer to start. i payed it no attention. this morning my car started up fine. i left work and decided to go to arby's. after i placed my order in the drive thru my car died. i put it in park and tryed to start again. nothin then i waited about 2 mins and tryed to start nothing. i put my pedal on the floor and tryed to start nothing. all it did was turn over and turn over and turn over but not start. by this time cars started to come behind me and i got out and pushed my car in a parking space , got my food and tryed to start my car until the battery died. I tryed every thing, i even cussed at her . I had to call my dad w/his tow truck to come pick my car up. Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
(sorry for being lengthy)

My friends truck did the same thing. We charged the battery, and brought it to get the batt and alt tested. Both were fine. Then a few days later the batt died again. He had to replace the battery.

most likely your fuel pump went out. have somebody cycle the key while you listen under the gas tank int he rear. if you don't hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds then your fuel pump is inop

first check the fuel pump fuse and relays. if thats not it then repalce the fuel pump

Fuel pump, they are electrical. could have gotten a bad one?

Did they change yours, I am sure they did, call them and let them come and tow it at their expense and fix it correctly this time!

They have better re-placed my fuel pump because i am wasting money trying this damn stang to start!!! (sorry,had to vent) The crank sensor may have gone bad. I will call they on monday to tow it back to the dealership. It may be my diablo chip? I dont know. I just wanna drive my stang!!
